Does anyone have these are they good? i have 17inch rims off a 4th gen camaro that i want to put on my 91 camaro what sizes should i use ?

Yep, I have them up front. I didn't need any for the rear since I have a 4th gen rearend which is about an inch or so wider on each side than the 3rd gen rear. You'll need 2.25" spacers up front and probably 1.5" for the rear. Here's my car with 17" SS rims on it.

I don't believe that Skulte makes his own adapters, but instead buys them from Vette Brakes in FL. I was going to get mine from Andris, but he does not take credit cards and only ships out once a week. These issues are not customer friendly, so I ordered mine from Vette Brakes and got them the next day.

The quality is very good. They almost look too good to be used just for adapters. Even if they looked like crap, they are our only choice to mount 4th gen rims on our 3rd gens.

Scott,
We have an independant machine shop fabricate the adapters from 6061 aluminum, and we generally stock the 1.25" and 2.25" sizes and we do ship daily with UPS. We have also been accepting credit cards through paypal.com since August.

We used to get our adapters through Vette brakes a long while ago, but had some issues with their products and service. Our adapters utilize the acorn-style lugnuts bolting the adapters to the hub which is self centering rather than the vette brakes' style of long-shank lugnuts that makes it almost impossible to get the adapters on without runout (see http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html for details and adapter sizing instructions - use 1.25" rear and 2.25" front if you want to bolt on 4th gen rims to your stock 3rd gen). I usually wouldn't post on the "aftermarket product review board" but I just wanted to clarify the details. I hope its OK to do that.

And I didn't mean to slam you Andris. I think I was looking for mine before you upgraded your business.

I tried 2.25 in the back. It works fine, just makes the wheels stick out a tad too much. I went with 2.25" in front and 2.00" in rear with 17x9's at all 4 corners.
